Hän learning materials project
Learning materials
Since 2020, I have worked on a project headed by Maura O'Leary (Swarthmore) and the tribal government of Eagle Native Village to develop language learning materials for the Eagle dialect of Hän. We developed:
a phrasebook
flashcards
a five chapter textbook for beginning learners
language games
worksheets
written stories for various reading levels (some accompanied by audio)
Current versions of some of these materials can be viewed here.
Language camp
In summer 2022, the first Hän language camp in Eagle Native Village was held. As part of the camp, I helped facilitate three days of language classes covering basic speaking, reading, and writing topics using the materials developed as part of the Hän Revitalization project. This was the first camp of its kind held in Eagle Native Village.
